Bought my nephew's birthday present yesterday.
I'd been fretting about low funds, and wanting to find something he really liked for under £10.

So I went in the gizmo shop, thinking I could pick up something cheap and if he didn't think much of it, I wouldn't be too hurt.

Then I saw this. £4.99. It is perfect for a (very young) 12 year old boy. Samuel still thinks farts are the funniest thing in the world. I must admit, Mum, Dad and I still find them pretty funny too. It has a motion detector and makes a farting noise when movement is detected. Very childish and very vulgar. Hurray.

Then I felt I should encourage his individualism more and also picked up a tube of comb-in-wash-out blue hair dye. For Christmas. He might end up giving it to his sister, because she supports Chelsea and can dye a strand blue on match days. But I figure it will appeal to him as well as giving my sister kittens.

Ha ha ha.
Sorry, I mean ho ho ho of course.

One of the nicest things about my BIL's visits to our house is the chuckles from Husband and BIL as they fart away contentedly ...

Pork and sauerkraut in my slow cooker. 'Tis the season...
Not happy I don't have a fresh rosemary tree this year though.

Do you keep yours inside the house? mine died or is suffering a horrible lingering death
I also have sage and it died in a pot outside too. My lavendar outside in the ground is happy though.

Uhh... recipe?
I put 6 thick boneless chops in the cooker with 2 bags of kraut and turned it on low.
If I had fresh rosemary and a tenderloin I might have tossed them both in a pan and browned/flavored it up a little before putting it in the cooker with kraut. Hard to screw this up really...

edit: I like to buy the xmas tree shaped topiary ones sky, but I can't keep them alive. I like to have one in the foyer and rub my hands on it whenever I go in/out. They just smell so good..... times a million when you have it cooking with pork....

It's Friday!


I just love Friday's.

I'm having pizza and a movie tonight. That new Harry Potter flick came out Tuesday. The wife and I are going to watch it tonight.

When my mother broke her hip a year ago I bought her an African violet. They seem to be the standard isn't it when people are in the hospital? So it died this summer and she gave it back to me. I don't blame her. I cut all the leaves off and it has slowly been growing. Just now it has the most beautiful bloom ,a bud and dark even leaves. If it were light enough I would take a photo. It's sweet. I'm happy it lived and decided to reward me with blooms.

Thanks. I was wondering if they grew better inside the house. I love the smell of rosemary too. After using fresh herbs the dried ones just pale by comparison.
